Leigh McCloskey Movies
Classically trained at the Juilliard School in New York, actor Leigh J. McCloskey is best known for the role of Mitch Cooper on the hit show Dallas, which he appeared on from 1980-1982. He also appeared on several other series, such as The Young and the Restless and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, in addition to nurturing a career as an artist. Some of McCloskey's art has appeared in conjunction with the Rolling Stones on their Bigger Bang Tour. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide- 1976
Leigh McCloskey stars in this ABC Afterschool Special as Jeff, a teenage boy who falls in love with Eileen (Jewel Blanch), a fiercely independent blind girl whom he has met at the local swimming pool. Somewhat put off by the girl's adamant insistence that she be treated like a normal person, Jeff begins to wonder what it would be like to be sightless. Thus, he spends an entire day blindfolded -- with surprising results. The final scene, in which Eileen asks Jeff to describe a daffodil, is just as effective today as when first telecast way back in 1976. ~ All Movie Guide
